Course Overview

When the Wiretapping Statute Becomes a Privacy Claim

2026-08-28 13:00:00

As nearly half of U.S. states have enacted consumer privacy laws (CPLs), attorneys must navigate a complex patchwork of overlapping consumer rights, material legal differences, and evolving enforcement trends. While many CPLs borrow concepts from the EU GDPR, they often take very different approaches to applicability, consumer rights, and compliance obligations.

At the same time, plaintiffs’ attorneys are increasingly relying on state wiretapping, confidential communications, and consumer protection laws to bring privacy-related claims, while state privacy and consumer protection regulators have become more active in enforcing consumer data rights.

This program provides a practical framework for addressing these challenges, from determining which laws apply and what data falls within their scope to developing defensible consumer rights request processes. Speakers will discuss jurisdictional coverage analyses across divergent state laws, statutory exemptions, requester identity verification, and coordination among legal, IT, human resources, compliance, vendor management, and business teams.

Attendees will also receive practical tools, including scoping frameworks, response flowcharts, compliance checklists, vendor accountability guidance, and best practices for cookie banners and consent management platforms, all designed for immediate implementation.
